How we made this South Africa vs Australia toss prediction

We do not predict who wins the coin flip itself; that is genuinely 50/50. We predict what the toss winner will choose to do. For this match, our toss call is published in our match prediction. We make every call with the weather, the pitch and the team news in mind, including who captains. The result above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

Who won the SA vs AUS toss?

What did the toss winner choose in SA vs AUS?

Australia chose to field first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain did what we predicted.

How does the toss affect the SA vs AUS match odds?

Meaningfully. Kingsmead, Durban favours batting first (chases succeed only 43.5% of the time here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 3 percentage points depending on which side ends up chasing. A pre-toss match price averages both branches, so the toss result itself can create or kill value on the match market.
